4. Jaundice
Jaundice, or yellowish skin and whites of the eyes, is symptom of fatty liver disease complicated with advanced scarring (cirrhosis). The condition occurs when the mucous membranes turn yellow because of a high level of bilirubin, a yellow-orange bile pigment. The liver secretes this fluid.
Additional symptoms associated with jaundice include pale-colored stools, dark-colored urine and skin itching. Jaundice is not a disease, but a sign of an underlying problem such as liver disease. Individuals with jaundice may also experience fever, chills, abdominal pain, and flu-like symptoms.5‘Jaundice | Icterus.’ MedlinePlus, U.S. National Library of Medicine, 22 Oct. 2019, medlineplus.gov/jaundice.html.
